Sword Effects Customizer version 1.3

---------------------------------
Description
---------------------------------

Sword Effects Customizer allows you to customize the special effects on your swords. Kinda obvious don't you think?
You get an in-game menu where you can decide if runes glow permanently or not, what color they glow, how many runes appear on the sword, and if you want to see the oil effect or not.
This mod is totally visual. This will not change what runes you have on your sword or how many.
So if you're like me and the rune you want to put on your sword glows pink but you're too manly for that, this mod is the remedy.
Don't worry, you can still choose pink for you ladies out there.

---------------------------------
Installation
---------------------------------

Copy the "modSEC" folder to the "Mods" folder in your Witcher 3 installation directory. Then copy the "bin" folder from inside the "modSEC" folder and paste it into your Witcher 3 installation directory.

If you are using Nexus Mod Manager, you must still copy the "bin" folder from inside the "modSEC" folder or you will not have an in-game menu. Nexus doesn't install mod menus for you.
If you want to use a mod manager, I suggest you check out the Witcher 3 Mod Manager. It will completely handle the installion for you.

Most other mods should be compatible with this one, but you should use Script Merger to check and make sure. Most of the time Script Merger should be able to automatically solve any conflicts that do occur.
WARNING: If the script compiler runs when you start the game, you need to exit the game after reaching the main menu and restart. There is a bug in the vanilla game that can give you -1 potions, bombs, and oils if you load a game after the script compiler runs.

To uninstall, delete the "modSEC" folder from the "Mods" folder. Then delete "modSEC.xml" from the "Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc" folder.

Menu Options
---------------------------------

Remember, all of these options are visual only. They won't change gameplay at all.


Silver Sword Rune Effect (Vanilla, Always On, Always Off) - In the vanilla game, runes stop glowing when combat ends or after a few seconds if you are not in combat. Always On forces them to stay on all the time. Always Off means that they will never glow.

Steel Sword Rune Effect (Vanilla, Always On, Always Off) - Same as above, but for your steel sword.

Disable Silver Sword Oil Effect (On/Off) - When you apply an oil to your silver sword, a subtle visual effect of an oily substance appears on your sword. Selecting On here will disable it so that you can't see it.

Disable Steel Sword Oil Effect (On/Off) - Same as above, but for your steel sword.

Use Custom Number of Runes for Silver Sword (On/Off) - Turn it on to control how many runes appear on your silver sword. Leaving it off will result in seeing the correct amount of runes according to how many you have on your sword.

Use Custom Number of Runes for Steel Sword (On/Off) - Same as above, but for your steel sword.

Silver Sword Number of Runes (0 - 3) - Here you can control how many runes appear on your silver sword. Only works if you have "Use Custom Number of Runes for Silver Sword" turned on above.

Steel Sword Number of Runes (0 - 3) - Same as above, but for your steel sword.

Silver Sword Rune Color (Vanilla/Several Colors) - Leaving this at Vanilla will result in the runes glowing their default color. Selecting one of the other colors will force the runes to glow that color on your silver sword.

Steel Sword Rune Color (Vanilla/Several Colors) - Same as above, but for your steel sword.


You can leave all of these settings at default and they will behave just like the vanilla game. So you can just change the ones you are interested in and everything else will not be affected.

If you change any options while you have your sword unsheathed, the changes will not take effect until you sheathe and then unsheathe your weapon again.
